"When I saw our latest leviathan
far ship, tho Indomitable, launched at
Blasgow the other day," writes a cor
espondent, "I could not help wondering
What our forefathers of a century ago
Would have thought of her. In 1800 a
lending naval authority wrote: 'The
llse of our ships seems now to have
reached Its ultimatum. • • * The
Ere null. Indeed, have latterly built a
Jhlp of must extraordinary alse, 178
feet keel, 60 feet 0 Inches by tho beam,
tonnage about 2,860 tons; but sho Is
pronounced to bo entirely unfit foi
service.' And yet this marine monstei
tf 1800, whoso bIbo made her so un
wieldly that '■he hath never boen out
Of harbor,' was but a third os long os
our latest cruiser, little more than two
thirds tho width, and a sixth of the
tonnage—In fact, she was relatively so
small that sho might easily, one would
think, have been carried on the Indomi
table's deck. Although a 60-acre for
est had provided her timbers, and It
had taken 200 shipwrights a year to
build her, her total oost was less than
one-tenth that of her suooessor of to

does not have a hard finish and neither
shrinks nor stretches to any appreci

able substitute for ootton, linen, Jute

from It are easily cleaned by beating

academy the automatic rifle was one of
the themes for discussion. The piece
now on trial has a magazine holding
ten cartridges; the recoil Is utilized to

I'll call on six or seven self-respecting
men to go up and clean out the gallery,

Central City is the first town in which

This was tlie ultimatum delivered by
United States Senator Elmer .1. Burkett
to the occupants of the gallery during
a. commencement address at the opera
house Friday evening. The object of
his wrath, for whom he held the whole
gallery responsible, was a group of

few people in the house were aware of
any unusual noise. And there was hard
ly a person present who was not pain
fully surprised at the senator's out

company failed of success because oi
attacks on railroad corporations In this

TIGHT REIN BEING

RAILROADS; BALKING
Angry Magnates May Resist In
creased Assessments--Pass
Law Evasion Must Stop.
Lincoln, Neb., June 4.—Attorneys ol
the Burlington and Union Pacific rail-,
roads spent all day yesterday trying
to convince the state commission that
they meant no disrespect in not com
plying with the order to report their
pass lists, but that really it was too
much of a Job. They said that there
were from U.000 to 8,000 annuals that
are good on Nebraska lines, but that
most of these were issued in other
Jurisdictions, In other states.
Chairman Winnett was the only
member present, and he was inclined
to the belief that the board did not
care to have the complete list, but
only those issued good for within the
state.
Would Nullify Act.
This pleased the attorneys, but it is
likely that when they return they will
find that the board did not mean just
that. It has since dawned upon the
chairman that the roads could easily
nullify the entire pass law and make
ridiculous any restrictions of the board
by issuing passes good for the holder
between Nebraska points and Sioux
City or Council Bluffs or some other
point Just without the state, thus mak
ing it. inter-state business, upon which
they need not report.
It is likely that the board will insist
that all passes issued to residents of
Nobras1 a, whether good within the
state or between joints in Nebraska
and other states must be reported.

VIFE DESERTS TO
CURE LOYER OF DRINK
Cody, Wyo., June 5.—The sacrifices oi
love are forever new. Giving up he*
beautiful home, the luxuries of wealth
and the social leadership that these}
things involve, Mrs. Evelyn Raue,
young and beautiful, wife of a promi
nent physician of Philadelphia, has
taken up her residence on a Wyoming
ranch, in the hope of winning from the
allurements of drink a young society
man of equal prominence in the east.
' About one month ago G. Gordo Mas
sey, son of General George V. Massey,
ichief counsel for the Pennsylvania rail-,
jroad, disappeared from Dover. Del. Ho
(was 30, a college man, and well known
tin the fast set of several eastern cities,
iHe had a beautiful wife and three chil
Jdren in Dover. A short time after his
'disappearance Mrs. Raue als disap
peared from her Philadelphia home.
There was nine days’ gossip, and the
jevent has not ceased to bo talked of. '
Valet Goes, "She” Comes,
i It now develops that young Massey
sought an opportunity to cure himself;
lof the drink habit far from his former
(associates, on Sam Aldrich's "Dude”
ranch near Cody. A few days after his
(arrival he discharged the valet who had
accompanied him, and the next day
Mrs. Raue appeared on the scene.
Her arrival created a sensation. She;
is a very handsome and vivacious
blonde and her gowns were several sea
sons in advance of ranch styles. The
way in which she proceeded to take(
care of young Massey added to the sur
prise that her visit inspired. They,
moved to a more secluded ranch on Tail
creek, five miles from Cody, and set up
housekeeping.
When Mrs. Raue came to Cody, Mas-l
sey celebrated the event by buying un
limited champagne for everybody he
could find to drink with him. The re-;
suit was the attempt at isolation whiclj
was made the next day.
With a ‘‘Bad Man.”
Last week Massey escaped from the
ranch in company with a “bad man",
named Berry. Tory came to Cody and.
proceeded to illuminate the town. When;
Mrs. Raue discovered the state of af-i
fairs, she rode across the desert to the
town, captured Massey and his com
panion and, hiring a carriage, took
them both back to the ranch on Tail
creek.
Twice she has been thrown from a
broncho and has figured in two run
aways, but her devotion to the young
man is such and her hopefulness of
winning him away from his evil hab
its so great that this delicately nur
tured eastern girl has accepted every
hardship with a smile.
Massey’s wife in the east has begun
proceedings for divorce.
